Last Adventure

Today was my last adventure for the year 2009. I had a very busy day wishing all my friends to have a Happy New Year. There were half a dozen dogs and four horses to see and share some treats with. I know you must be bored with my recollections of my interactions with animals but oh well I do love them.
To all my two legged friends and blog readers I hope you have a wonderful New Year. I will continue to update you on significant events in my daily life as long as I can get Farfar to help me publish this blog. Here is a picture from today I hope you enjoy it............ "G"


If you couldn't guess I'm feeding carrots and you can't imagine how appreciative and gentle this big gray horse is.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Afternoon Delight

Or what we do when the afternoon turns showery and outdoor play is not possible. As you can see in the pictures we play dress up and do funny poses. Farfar thinks he is real funny and I guess he must be because I laugh at how silly he looks and at the funny sounds he makes.
Of course I have to do my part as well as you might tell from my picture below. Anyway Farmor took the pictures and I think she did a good job.
Yes mom Saxon came with dad to pick me up and he went right for the train set. I think he likes it !!!!!!! "G"

Christmas Cheer

This morning it was my turn to spread a little Christmas cheer to my animal friends. I arrived early at Farmor and Farfar's house so that I could accompany them on their daily dog walk. I helped Farfar prepare the Christmas snacks for all of our friends, dogs, cats, llama and horses. We loaded up on carrots and dog cookies. Then packed them into our fanny pack and stroller so we could get under way.
Before leaving I got to help Farfar with putting medicine on Ricki and Nika. We gathered our hats and sun glasses and out the door we went. Oh yes I had some nice snacks for myself too, one of Farmor's snowman cookies with lots of sprinkles on it, orange juice, water and more carrots.
Off we went looking for my friends our first stop was to see if Bella the German Shepherd was home. Unfortunately she wasn't but her companion the cat was there and even accompanied us next door to see Skittles the yellow lab. From the pictures you can see that the cat was very friendly not only with us but the dogs too. I made sure she got lots petting and I even offered her some dog cookie. She didn't care for it but of course Skittles cleaned up after her and Farmor and I gave her more loving.
The cat liked us so much she followed us down the street demanding a little more affection. Now as you may know Ricki and Nika think that cats are to be chased and wanted to do so oh so much. Well Farfar and I told them to sit and behave themselves and they actually did. I guess I have the magic touch.

I have no more pictures for you but I will tell you that we continued on our way to spread Christmas cheer to my animal friends. Lorenzo the llama, Dolly a little gray dog, the beagle and lab who live with the giraffe I'm always talking about. Then on to the horses, Snowball, Christal and the big brown horse who lives down the trail.
Oh I almost forgot Ricki and Nika got some cookies too and I also took Ricki for a nice run through the park. People seem to get a kick out of seeing me running such a large and powerful dog on a loose leash all by myself. Or maybe they get a laugh at seeing Farfar running behind me huffing and puffing trying to keep up.
I can hardly wait until tomorrow Christmas Eve when I get to finally open some presents. I'm now wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year......... "G"

Beach

Today was a rainy day at the coast as you will see in my pictures. But I digress the day started at Farmor's house where I got to decorate my own Christmas tree! It looks good if I say so myself.
First went on the colored lights and then the ornaments. What fun I got to decide where to place all the ornaments and I directed Farfar on the placement of the high ones.
Then it was off to the beach in the BMW my vehicle of choice for today's adventure. It was just sprinkling when we left but by the time we arrived at the beach it had begun to rain. That didn't stop us as the pictures will show.

All strapped in and ready to go !

Exploring the beach for sea pickles.

Darkening skies are headed for us.

Did I say I found some sea pickles to squirt and saw three seals swimming and playing in the surf. Well I did and yes it began to rain hard and I had to change into some dry clothes when we got back to the car. One has to be some what dry when you are going to have lunch at Mickey "D's". Here are some pictures from lunch you can draw your own conclusions on if I had fun or not....... "G"

First you need a little refueling.

Then it is all fun and games.

More fuel a little ice cream and a happy meal.

BMW Keyes

This video is just for fun and shows Farfar and I at play.

Did you like the video? We sure had fun making it ? Anyway everyone have a wonderful Christmas........ "G"

Thanksgiving 2009

I have been waiting for Thanksgiving all week long. I couldn't wait to go over to Oma's house for the festivities. The day finally came and I wasn't disappointed! The food was great, the weather cooperated and it was fun to see family. Most of all I just love the property and the opportunity to have some fun exploring all its nooks and crannies.
As you can see from the picture Saxon and I had a great time playing with balloons and wrestling. I'm attaching a picture video so that you can see all the action for yourself.


If you would like to see all these pictures full size click here for the celebration or click here for the close ups....... "G"

Poplar Beach

It was the day before Thanksgiving and time for a road trip to the beach. I had no school today and it was time for a little rest and relaxation. Farmor, Farfar and I loaded up some drinks and snacks into the Honda and headed out on the road to Poplar Beach in Half Moon Bay.
Did I say the weather was great it was clear as a bell and in the 60's not bad for a late fall day. A great day for a little exploring, exercise and lunch at Mac Donalds, my favorite restaurant. I have this little slide show below that tells the story better than I can write it so enjoy the show...... "G' as usual you can see the large pictures here.

New Look - Old Hat

A day off from preschool and time to get reacquainted with old haunts and old friends. Of course you can see I have a new look I actually asked to wear a hat! Yes my hair has been shorn just like the sheep in the spring. Mom says it will grow out how do you like the look?
Watch me as I visit Joe's house, the giraffe and horses and see the surprise at the end of this video...... "G"

More Birthday Fun

Hi everybody last night I went out to dinner with, Oma, Farmor, (as seen in the picture to your right) Farfar, Mom, Dad and Saxon. It was a glorious birthday bash as Saxon, Farmor and Dads birthdays all fall with in two weeks of each other. We sat outside on a beautiful fall evening and had a delicious meal. Check out the pictures in the slide show or go to Farfars photo album to see them......... "G"

Obsession

That is what it is called I just love trains! So today Farmor, Farfar and I spent some quality time at the Menlo Park Train Station. It is amazing first one train comes from one direction and then another from the other.
I was in seventh heaven. I even know that these trains are Cal Trains not BART Trains even thou they look similar. Anyway here is a video of my adventure and we even stopped for ice cream to celebrate Farmor's birthday........ "G"

No Nap

Yes I know it is hard to believe but the other day I decided to forgo my nap and work on my drawing skills. Not that I don't get enough practice at preschool but I like to show Farmor how much I have learned. I hope you enjoy this picture of me hard at work.

As you can see I had my favorite purple pen at the ready but I'm now branching out to other colors and mediums. That is a fancy way of saying that I do my art work in lots of different ways. Like finger painting, water colors and ink drawings today's picture is rendered as a colored sketch...... "G"

Happy Birthday Bro

Happy Birthday little brother and here is a birthday greeting from Farmor and Farfar..... "G"

Pony Ride

On Wednesday I made a return trip to the Lemos Halloween Farm and this time we got some video to highlight our trip. I will be sharing some of them with you as soon as Farfar can get them published. Anyway today I ride the ponies and assorted horse related rides.

As you can see from this picture one has to contemplate what one should do first ........ "G"

Something New

I have been wondering on how to show you some of our pictures in high resolution and today i may have found it. The three widgets below have a recent pictures of me and the twins for you to explore. You will see a plus and minus sign in each picture when you place your mouse arrow into it. The plus and minus signs will allow you to zoom into and out of the photo and wow the results are great. For the more adventurous try the + sign in the upper right corner of the widget and boom you get the picture full screen and in High Resolution. Let me know what you think..... "G"

Halloween II

Not much time today I'm out of breath but here are the highlights from my Halloween II adventure.

Photo Editing

Now you might say what do I know about photo editing? Well not much but I am a excellent model and Farfar encourages me to do my best at getting some unusual poses. Here are two that I posed for on Monday I hope at least one of them tickles your funny bone..... "G"

Here I am looking back at Farfar through the magnifying glass. The neat thing about this picture is that he had to take it without using any flash and the original picture was to dark to really make me visible. Through some photo enhancement magic I appeared out of the shadows.

This picture is a completely different story again it was taken without flash so the something called slow shutter speed came into play. As usual I can't sit still so I moved and blurred the picture. Can you see the papers movement? Well we went into our super secret computer program and came up with this rendition not bad if I say so.

This is just one more step along the way of improving our pictures look. I now am rendered in colored pencil which seems to work well with slightly blurred pictures. That is all for now....... "G"

All Washed Up

Yes I know in the picture I'm sitting in Farmors lap and yes I'm flossing my teeth and I do look clean. But today I'm here to demo my interpretation of hand washing 101 or scrub, scrub, scrub "G" and the kitchen sink. Enjoy the video........ "G"

Trains Will Come

On Wednesday I went for a little ride to San Mateo to check out Talbot's Toy Store and low and behold I saw some of my favorite things. Trains, real trains, wooden trains and electric trains I was in seventh heaven. Anyway here is a short video of my adventure......... Little 'G"

Big Wet Jumps

As you may know I have spent a lot of time in the pool this summer. You might ask what is it that I have accomplished? Well Farfar and I have put together this little video of some of our exploits for your viewing pleasure....... Little "G"

The Big Splash from Ted Goth on Vimeo.

Now that you have seen it you might ask yourself did I know that boy was so adventurous? Or were you surprised that I follow directions around the pool and only jump when and where I'm allowed? Or that I actually go to the bottom of the pool with Farfar? I do know that I love the pool and having fun! Bye-Bye for now............ "G"

A Pic from Mom

Mom took this interesting pic of me after one of my jam sessions and low and behold it made the cover..... Little "G"

At the Zoo

Here are a few pictures of me taken during my visit last week to the San Francisco Zoo. If you want to see them in all there glory you can visit Farfar's SmugMug Photo Site. There you can see them with there captions and in any size that you want..... Little "G"

Yeah

I know I don't normally post on Fridays but I'm headed back to school on Monday so here are a few pictures from last week at Farmors house...... Little "G"

A picture in a picture and it tells a lot of the story. I'm hard at work on two computers simultaneously. See upper right corner and you can see the screens of both computers.

I have been hard at work on my finger painting skills - Here is my latest piece.

This is what it looks like after Farfar and I digitally enhance it. Check out the use of my favorite color..... Wow Purple, I love it!

I end this post with a picture of my guardian angel who watches over me as I nap....... "G"

One of the birds I saw a Toucan.

Zoo - 2

Yes, today I went to the San Francisco Zoo for the second time this summer with Farmor and Farfar . It was a glorious day the weather was great and the animals were more than obliging. I made some new friends and visited some old ones and of course the train. Wow what a wonderful train and train crossing with operating signals and crossing arms.
Anyway I will tell you all about it later for now here are a few pictures to enjoy..... Little "G"

Awesome Train

Can you guess? A Rhino

On the move.

A swimmer just like me - Farmor says I have to tell you I no sooner got home than I ripped my clothes off and grabbed my swimmers. Farfar was a little slow so I had to get his trunks too!

More Dancing

Thought you might like this short video that Farfar did for his Leica blog..... Little "G"
